Homogeneous organic reactions

Electron transfer processes leading to a product adsorbed in the interfacial region o are of practical interest. These processes include the deposition of a metal such as Cu or Pd at ITIES, the preparation of colloidal metal particles with catalytic properties for homogeneous organic reactions, or electropolymerization.

Polarography offers some possibilities for the study of reaction kinetics and mechanisms of homogeneous organic reactions. The main advantages are a rather simple and easily accessible experimental technique, the possibility to work in dilute solutions and limited requirements on the amount of substances studied. The main limitation is that some of the components of the reaction mixture must be polarographically active. But this limitation is not so restrictive as it would appear, because most substances that can be studied spectro photometrically are electro-active as well. For rapid reactions polarography seems to be most useful for a range of second-order rate constants between about 10 -10 sec M, whereas for faster reaetions the specific properties of the electrode, in particular its electrical field and adsorption, can play a role. A certain limitation is that for most systems the equilibrium constant has to be known from independent measurements.

After electropolymerization, the film could be demetalated (using CN or SCN ) without modification of the geometrical shape of the preformed complexing cavities, and other metals could be incorporated, such as Co(II), Zn(II), Ag(I), and Li(I). Consequently, the possibility of replacing a transition metal with another one appears to be of great interest in the applications in cata is of homogeneous organic reactions.
